I Want Fans (Compound Words)

I want to fly, but I have found it hard to learn by myself. Some birds need a bit of help to fly. I will sign up for a class.
When I have learned how to fly, I am going to go for roles in films. I will be able to dive out of airplanes and fly on. I will have a lot of fans!
In my first class, I try to take off into the sky. I land hard on a hilltop. The other birds in the class laugh at me as I lie there in the dirt.
They swoop around me and tell me that I will never be able to fly. I pick myself up and walk away from my classmates.
My pride is hurt. They can all fly so well. They tell me that I am too big. They say that birds like me never get off the ground.
If my wings are too small to help me off the ground, I will make myself some big wings that will lift me up on the breeze.
I read books about wings and make a pair that I can bend and twist any way that I want to! Then, I get set to take to the skies!
This is the day! I have done some test flights, but it is time for the big one. A lot of birds have come to see how my wings will fare. Some are fans. Some hope they will not work.
A strong breeze starts to blow. It sends me high up into the sky! I dive and twist in the air. I can do all sorts of tricks!
The birds on the ground cheer and ask for more. I put on the best show that I can, then I land back down next to my fans.
